Hey there,
I'm Molina, a senior software engineer born and based in Seville, Spain.
I have a Computer Science degree from the University of Seville, where I graduated in 2016. Over the past 8 years I have been working across the full stack but I’ve specialized in front-end web development due to its strong design component, honing my skills in the latest technologies to build accessible, intuitive and responsive user interfaces.
My work is driven by a passion for clean, modern design and meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every project I take on is not only functional but beautifully crafted.
When I'm not coding, I’m spending time with my wonderful girlfriend and our energetic black Pomeranian, Balú.

During my time with the Video Studio team, I was responsible for both maintaining and developing new features for the product. Our primary tech stack consisted of Vue and Angular, though I also contributed to React projects, including building a custom Video Player web component from scratch using Preact. One of the first projects I took full control of was leading the development of a Chrome extension, designed from the ground up using Vue. The extension enabled cross-team collaboration and enhanced access to product features, providing significant improvements for users. In addition to my development role, I served as Scrum Master for a year, where I facilitated Agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, grooming sessions, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives plus collaborating closely with the product manager, assisting with ticket management and creating metrics to measure and improve team maturity. I also participated in our team’s “office hours” initiative, where we set aside 2 hours and 30 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday to help anyone who needed assistance. This was a great way to foster collaboration, answer questions, and help others learn more about the Video Studio app.
I had the opportunity to work in a really great environment, surrounded by passionate individuals who genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. Everyone was highly detail-oriented, and the focus on design was always front and center, especially since many of our clients were the ones defining the app’s functionality.
It was also an incredible learning experience for me, as it was my first time working with up-to-date frameworks like Angular, Vue, React, and Next. Furthermore, every client I collaborated with was an English speaker or from overseas, which made the work even more interesting and broadened my perspective.
Some notable projects I worked on while on Z1 were for Trumpet, Smartvault client portal and API documentation, Localist theming system revamp using liquid, Logistimatics website and store, Biograph user portal and Alloy identity verification process between others.
During my time on Z1 I spent a decent amount of time co-managing the front-end development team, mentored junior developers, and handled performance evaluations and reviews while also doing my coding duties.
